Lacking Quotes - page 13

If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance. (Pablo Picasso)
When my integrity is lacking, I am clear that I just got to be a bit smaller as a person. That keeps me working on my integrity. And the thing about integrity is it's a mountain with no top. View quote
Werner Erhard
Having done these things, they made the sacrifices prescribed by custom lest they be found lacking in filial piety. View quote
Henry Beard
People who are clear-sighted, undeluded, and sober-minded will not go on working once their reasonable needs are satisfied. A society that refuses to strive for superfluities is likely to end up lacking in necessities. The readiness to work springs from trivial, questionable motives. View quote
Eric Hoffer
Men may be natural risk-takers, but the increased confidence and surefootedness that we are recognizing as manly courage is the product of constant testing. The chest-thumping of untested men is hardly courage; Hobbes called it "vain-glory", because "a well grounded confidence begetteth attempt; whereas the supposing of power does not." Or to put it in the words of Tyler Durden, "How much can yo know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" Modern men are not merely lacking initiation into manhood, as some have suggested, they are lacking meaningful traits of strength and courage. Few modern men will truly "know themselves," as men, in the way that their forefathers did. View quote
Jack Donovan
If honest of heart and uprightness before God were lacking or if I did not patiently wait on God for instruction, or if I preferred the counsel of my fellow-men to the declarations of the Word of God, I made great mistakes. View quote
George Müller
[A]s things now stand, the case that capitalism will make the world - not just the West - materially better off has simply not been convincingly demonstrated. Indeed, with almost 70 per cent of the world's people experiencing a decline in their real incomes in recent years, the opposite appears to be true. The wanton celebration of market capitalism while so many people throughout the world are lacking basic food and shelter seems, if not downright vulgar, at least a little insensitive. View quote
Linda McQuaig
There is the necessity for the spiritual point of focus to be embodied on earth. This is the one thing that has been lacking. View quote
Martin Cecil
My goal in Baghdad was to facilitate a debate here in the United States on America's policy toward Iraq, a debate that's been sadly lacking. View quote
Scott Ritter
Rhodesia has an ingredient which is sadly lacking in America. This is racial harmony. View quote
James Eastland
"When material needs are largely satisfied,” writes Carl Rogers, "as they tend to be for many people in this affluent society, individuals are turning to the psychological world, groping for a greater degree of authenticity and fulfillment.” The clear distinction between material and psychic needs is already the mystification; it capitulates to the ideology of the affluent society which affirms the material structure is sound, conceding only that some psychic and spiritual values might be lacking. Exactly this distinction sets up "authenticity” and "fulfillment” as so many more commodities for the shopper. Rather it is the fissure itself which is the source of the ills-between work and "free” time, material structure and psychological "world,” producers and consumers. (Russell Jacoby)
It is the universal nature of human Bildung to constitute itself as a universal intellectual being. Whoever abandons himself to his particularity is ungebildet ("unformed")-e. g., if someone gives way to blind anger without measure or sense of proportion. Hegel shows that basically such a man is lacking in the power of abstraction. He cannot turn his gaze from himself towards something universal, from which his own particular being is determined in measure and proportion. View quote
Hans-Georg Gadamer
God...sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better. View quote
Rainer Maria Rilke
Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. View quote
Sydney J. Harris
Lacking cities, Ireland didn't quite see the point of bishops, and gradually these were replaced in importance by abbots and-in a development that would make any self-respecting Roman's blood run cold-abbesses. View quote
Thomas Cahill
In economic life competition is never completely lacking, but hardly ever is it perfect. View quote
Joseph Schumpeter
I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come. View quote
José Mourinho
The great moral lesson which Saul's history leaves for the instruction of mankind is this: That without true piety the finest qualities of character and the highest position in society will utterly fail to make a true and noble man. If Saul's heart had been true to God, he would have been one of the grandest specimens of humanity; but, lacking this true obedience to God, he made his life an utter failure, and his character amoral wreck. View quote
William Mackergo Taylor
Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all. View quote
Pericles
I suppose I want to leave a word with you tonight, that seems to have been applicable and important to everyone lately. And that is - remember Mercy, Love and Forgiveness, because this seems to be lacking, and causing and creating a lot of problems for people because it is so lacking. So remember that, first and foremost. And if you're already doing a good job at that, you think - good for you! Step it up a bit! That's your challenge. As for me, I must work on these things always too! View quote
Ysabella Brave
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking. (Walt Whitman)
In ideal form of social control is an atomised collection of individuals focused on their own narrow concern, lacking the kinds of organisations in which they can gain information, develop and articulate their thoughts, and act constructively to achieve common ends. View quote
Noam Chomsky
"It cannot be said that we are lacking in faith. Even the simple fact of our life is of a faith-value that can never be exhausted.” "You suggest there is some faith-value in this? One cannot not-live, after all.” "It is precisely in this ‘Cannot, after all' that the mad strength of faith lies; it is in this negation that it takes on form.” There is no need for you to leave the house. Stay at your table and listen. Don't even listen, just wait. Don't even wait, be completely quiet and alone. The world will offer itself to you to be unmasked; it can't do otherwise; in raptures it will writhe before you. View quote
Franz Kafka
We cannot afford to ignore HIV/AIDS. We can only ignore this battle at the cost of being regarded by future generations of Pacific Islanders as lacking the will, the foresight, the understanding to tackle this issue, which threatens our very future. View quote
Epeli Ganilau
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. View quote
